<p>Dear all <strong><br>
</strong></p>
<p>I am contacting you with regard to the Human Brain Project /
EBRAINS Call for Proposals for European neuroscientists at
large for using ICEI e-infrastructure resources. <br>
</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><i>The Human Brain Project (HBP) offers in the context of the
Interactive Computing E-Infrastructure (ICEI) project access
to compute and storage resources of Fenix. With this call,
European neuroscientists are invited to submit proposals for
using these resources for research on topics in the broader
scope of the HBP.</i></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/"
target="_blank">HBP </a>is building a world-class research
platform for brain research <a href="https://ebrains.eu"
target="_blank">EBRAINS</a>. Within the HBP, the Interactive
Computing E-Infrastructure (ICEI) project is building the <a
href="https://fenix-ri.eu/" target="_blank">Fenix computing
infrastructure</a>. It includes a distributed set of
e-infrastructure services that are being federated within a
single authentication and authorisation as well as user and
resource management domain. The services encompass scalable
compute, interactive compute and virtual machine services as
well as active and archival data repositories, which can be
combined according to user needs. 25% of the available ICEI
resources are being made available through HBP. For an
overview of the available resources see: <a
href="https://fenix-ri.eu/infrastructure/resources/available-resources"
target="_blank">https://fenix-ri.eu/infrastructure/resources/available-resources</a>.</p>
<p>Neuroscientists are invited to submit project proposals for
using these resources. Applicants may be researchers of the
HBP core project, of its Partnering Projects, EBRAINS services
providers or other researchers and groups if they contribute
to research topics and main objectives of the HBP, in
particular:<br>
● Analysis of brain data leading to understanding brain
function<br>
● Building multi-scale scaffold theory and models for the
brain<br>
● Simulation of brain function<br>
● Brain-inspired computing, data analytics and robotics</p>
<p>The project results are expected to lead to a significant
European added-value and major impact at international level.
Proposals can be submitted at any time and will be considered
for evaluation depending on resource availability. Applicants
should target allocation of resources that do not exceed 12
months. Renewal of applications is possible if the project
exceeds this period. Templates for proposals can be found <strong><a
href="https://fenix-ri.eu/sites/default/files/public/file-uploads/hbp-icei-full-mechanism_resource-request-v06-1.docx"
target="_blank">here</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Proposals will first be reviewed by the ICEI team for
technical viability before being forwarded to the EBRAINS
Infrastructure Allocation Committee (IAC) that manages the
review for scientific excellence. Depending on the number of
requested resources, awarding of the requested resources will
be decided by HBP’s Directorate or the IAC. In case of more
resources are being requested than can be allocated, a ranking
will be performed based on the review results.</p>
<p><strong>Submission of proposals</strong>: Please read all the
details <a
href="https://fenix-ri.eu/news/human-brain-project-ebrains-call-proposals-european-neuroscientists-large-using-icei-e">here</a>,
complete the <a
href="https://fenix-ri.eu/sites/default/files/public/file-uploads/hbp-icei-full-mechanism_resource-request-v06-1.docx"
target="_blank">template for proposals</a> and send it to <a
href="mailto:icei-coord@fz-juelich.de">icei-coord@fz-juelich.de.</a></p>
<p>Further information and support for preparing project
proposals can be requested by sending an email to <a
